how to get my ford escape in dash 6 cd changet to eject and play?

I also found out that once the unit has decided it has an error - even if you have got the wayward CD out, then you need to take the ground cable loose from the battery to clear the error. I've cleared about 20 CDs and had to clear the error by cutting power twice. You can also pull the fuse for the stereo under the dashboard (not in the engine compartment).

I have started carrying tweezers to retreive incomplete ejections or insertions. If I could find the tool to remove the thing from the dashboard, I could take it apart and clean it. 99% chance it will work.

According to this "Stereo Geek" guy I know, the drive wheel that loads and unloads the CD's can become slick from burned CD's with Laser & InkJet labels. You can either use another CD or Popsickle stick to get it out. Just start to insert the "Technical Removing Device" and the extra tension will get the drive wheel to spit the jammed CD out. However, this method can cause scratching to one or both CD's, so be aware.
His fix was to take the unit to a repair place and have the drive wheel replaced and quit using burned CD's with Laser & InkJet labels.
You're suppose to be able to remove the unit with metal coat hangers cut and bent into a "U" (1 pair) that you insert into the holes in the front of the unit. However, mine failed to "un-clip" and the unit wouldn't come out. Maybe you'll have better luck.

Disc stuck in the CD mechanism.
I can repair this problem if you send your in dash CD6 radio to our repair shop.

Same problem here. Put a CD in slot 1, tried to eject it and nothing came out. Player won't allow anything to be loaded and says there are no CDs...
